Ghostsof1915 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Now put in Brisebois too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobart16 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 This kid is a gem. Not sure if he is totally ready but some day he will be an nhl regular. Big, strong fast and willing happy for him and I hope he sees some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I'd love to see MacEwen with Horvat and Leivo. That's a heavy line that can skate and score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Here's hoping he actually gets some games with Baer out. He's definitely earned this call up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xereau Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 The Zack Attack is sure to win fans over. Hope he actually plays. There's a bunch of forwards dragging their arses around the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maninthebox Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Perhaps a line with Rous and Virt. Forget the puck, just go linebacker mode to win faceoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Awesome. Really like MacEwen and he seems to have earned it. The type of player that really complements this group well imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how he couldn't replace Schaller or Granlund. Granlund? doubtful.. he doesn't hit, fight or score much, but doesn't take penalties or make glaring mistakes.. plus he's got a lot of experience, decent PK man Schaller? Ssschhhaller, Schaller, Schall... Oh Yah THAT guy.. he's dead to me.. well maybe not but you get my drift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how he couldn't replace Schaller or Granlund. I think he gets a shot, they'll promote Motte up the ladder and play Zach on the 4th line with limited minutes to start. This might be how Virtanen gets top-six minutes, though, after last nights game, I think he needs some press box time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Hopefully if he gets into a game he skates hard and plays with an edge....damn we sure need that, especially in the future when we hope to regularly make the playoffs Best of luck to him and I hope Brisebois gets into a game over Pouliot too!

DADDYROCK Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I once wrote that I thought Zack could be our next Burrows,only with some size to throw around ,hard work can really pay off. Best of luck,to Zack and welcome to the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how he couldn't replace Schaller or Granlund. 38 minutes ago, PhillipBlunt said: I'd love to see MacEwen with Horvat and Leivo. That's a heavy line that can skate and score. 1. My story is that I was just about to predict the Canucks would call up MacEwen but the Canucks announcement came first. 2. So here is another prediction. He will actually play. I would love to see him and Brisebois in the line-up for the next game. Realistically, the Canucks might want MacEwen to watch a game or two and get in a few practices before getting into a game. But the sooner the better from my point of view. 3. The Canucks said yesterday (or was it Friday) that Baertschi would be out for a while. With post-concussion syndrome, even if you feel fine for day-to-day activities, you are highly vulnerable to further problems. Getting a long rest is the best approach and Baer should be cautious. It would not surprise me if he is gone for the season. Giving him a solid 6 or 7 months might be the best way of minimizing the risk of further concussion problems. 4. I would certainly slot MacEwen ahead of Schaller, who has been disappointing this year. And I would also put him ahead of Granlund, who has not been very good lately. Granlund has the advantage that he can slot in anywhere. He can play center or either wing. He can play shutdown, PK, and PP. And he has enough skill to play with top 6 players. The problem is that he does not do any of those things particularly well. He is ok, but that is far as you can go. He is a decent skater but not particularly fast, and he does not contribute much to team toughness or to the physical game. He is fine as 13th man but he does not have a "separating skill". 5. The thing I really like about MacEwen is that he has improved a lot over the season. While I have not watched Utica games, from what I have read and from looking at the numbers it seems that both his offence and his defence have made a lot of progress. And, of course, having another tough guy in the line-up would be a plus. So I would play him in place of Granlund. And I would play Granlund in place of Goldy if Goldy has an off-day or two. (Goldy is still too inconsistent, especially in the D zone.) Anyway, looking forward to seeing MacEwen play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to try and offload him somehow in a trade. I know we have cap space but we want to use it to proper use as we will have 20ish Million tied up it EP and Brock in a couple years Eriksson, was a bad signing there is no way around it, we just have to hope JB can make a good trade to dump him somehow, like how Phaneuf got dumped by the Laffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team has no cap issues, no cap issues for the next cpl years at least and you don't pay his salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
